No, you will not run everything.
>>55587664
As much as I love Thuban, that's BS famalam. Try playing Dark Souls III for example and you'll get horrible drops in many areas. I had my 1090T at 4GHz and even that wasn't close to enough. It was actually that which prompted an upgrade a few months ago.
They're still great CPUs in general though. Other games which use all six cores better ran great on ultra.
> thinking you need some 36 core xeon or opteron and 16 gigs of ram for gayming
Just upgrade your gpu every two or three years and the rest when they break or just stop werking

play quake with 30 or 60 fps and compare it to 250fps.
>>55587929
don't be that guy. If you play fps you want as much fps as possible to keep it smooth. but 40-60+ is enough for casual
>>55587664
What the fuck is ultra 1080p? Isn't it just 1080p?
>>55587929
>Movies look fine at 24fps
No, you're just used to them that way.
Years ago, I had a Sony TV that capped Frames to 24 and everything was stunning smooth 100% of the time.
Come to think of it, It probobly looked better then this 260 FPS meme
>>55588034
>I had a Sony TV that capped Frames to 24 and everything was stunning smooth 100% of the time.
Well playing non-action based games does that. Even a jump from 30 to 50 fps is noticeable, assuming said game/program supports it.
>>55588000
This. But seriously 60 is enough. Anything more is a meme.

What is 'than upgrading'?
>>55589047

I think it's a huge upgrade going from 60hz to 144hz. Personal preference I guess.
>>55587664
gta 5 will not run at 60fps on that cpu.
>>55589867
It is, but only if you're doing something which involves a lot of movement and precision. Nobody disagrees 120+ is better than 30-60, it's just that not everyone cares enough to upgrade.

>>55587700
This. Even cheap quad-cores get you 60+ in most games if you have a midrange gpu. People with more are chasing 4k,100+fps in crappy playstation ports.
>>55590101
I loved my old 7970 GPU but unfortunately I really do think that it's starting to show its obsolescence. You might wanna go with the new top tier AMD card like the RX 490 when and *if* they release it and kink out the issues
>>55589953
I have 1075T @ 3.6GHz and R9 380. Runs GTA V at high details with framerates varying from 55 up to 80fps with occasional drops to 48 fps in busy city areas. While it's not exactly amazing it's still pretty good for such an old hardware. Less CPU heavy games like Killing Floor 2 or new Unreal Tournament run maxed out at like 100fps and that's only cause my GPU can't push more frames than that.
>>55587664
I have faster CPU
but only ddr2 800mhz
and PCI-E 2.0 x16
should I upgrade my gpu too?
>>55590122
It still powers through battlefield 4 on ultra settings, although it's over clocked and over volted to its max. I'm trying to run it into the ground. The thing is that it's built like a tank and won't stop working.
>>55590000

At least for fighting games, knowing exactly how many frames a move takes up, or knowing where to cancel an attack is really important. If your attack has a window of 4 frames where you can cancel it, its pretty important that the game is running at 60fps.
>>55587664
Still rocking a Phenom II X4 965 and a 7970 GHz-ed and 8GB DDR2 1066. I play GTA5 at decent frame rates and high-ish settings in 4k.
This machine is mostly from 2010, apart from upgraded CPU and GPU (started with Phenom X4 and 4870 back in the day) plus addition of an SSD.
When Zen comes out, I'll go about an upgrade of this machine, before that there's nothing really to gain for me.

>oc your glorious 1090 to 4.4ghz
Not happening unless he's cooling the thing with LN2. They do around 4GHz at 1.5V, and that's the bleeding edge for air cooling. Some might get to 4.2 on water with more voltage (though many won't). None will get to 4.4 without extreme cooling. You might get it stable enough to run a benchmark or two, but not for day to day use.
>>55592361
You're looking at things entirely backwards. The Thubans do better in more modern games than they did pre-2011, because modern titles are a lot more multi-thread aware. A good example of this is the Witcher series. The first Witcher game runs like absolute fucking garbage even on a heavily-overclocked Phenom II, because it only uses one thread. It runs far, far worse than either of its sequels, despite them being much more demanding games.
>>55587700
not if you're using memedozer/piledriver trash CPUs or extremely old phenom ii/c2d era CPUs. anything newer than sandy vagina is pretty much perfect for gaymen tho.

It does. I recently upgraded from an 8320 @ 4.5ghz to a sandy vagina and saw a huge difference, at least in >muh gaymes. It's fine for everything else.
>>55592694

I usually upgrade every 5 years or so, but I have no desire too. All modern games are shit and the performance difference per generation is not enough for me to dish out 1000$ for new parts.
I still have my 10 year old Core 2 Duo PC running Vista. The only upgrades I've given it are; 16 gigs of DDR2 ram(back when that shit went on sale), and a GTX750ti, so my kids could play their games on it(no minecraft fuck that autism inducing shit).
My current PC has an i5-2400(2500ks were out of stock and no resupply for months), 8 gigs ddr3 ram, and a gtx460. The only games I really play are old and dont need that much horsepower even at 1440p.
>>55594676
I was looking forward to getting a pair of rx460's one for each PC. But AMD fucked up by nerfing the chip to 896 stream processors. I was hoping for GTX960 performance, not a minor sidegrade of the GTX950. I might get an RX470 still not sure though.

I'm still on an old i7-920 rig with 16GB DDR3-1866. It handles most things I throw at it, but the GTX 285 is really holding me back in terms of 3d. I don't game much, but ill probably give in if for no other reason than this 285 is ancient and puts out more waste heat than an OC'd P4
>>55592586
Lmao I got mine running at 4.2 GHZ with premade watercooling.
What's the best alternative to the RX 480 for $75-200? I'm trying to get a video card as soon as possible but the RX 480 isn't being sold anywhere (that I'm aware of) for $200 currently. Used or New is fine.

So much /v/irgin faggotry in one thread. What the fuck /g/?
Anyways, contributing to the FPS discussion, some games benefit from more frames and some do not benefit.
Games that benefit from having over 250 FPS:
-CS:GO
-
-
-
Games that benefit from having 60 FPS:
-Character action games (Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta)
-Sports games
-Platformers
Games that are required to be locked at 60FPS, with no dips or increases:
-Fighting games
Games that don't need 60FPS:
-Visual Novels
-RPG's
-Ass Creed
-Hearthstone
Now please, fuck off with your gaymen faggotry you /v/ile scum of 4chins.

i have my gsync and i series cpu. if amd actually makes something that goes toe to toe or beats the competition then I'll consider them. otherwise, people can get three rx480s and destroy my measly 980ti in ashes of the singularity. I don't have time for multi gpu set ups, they are retarded
What kind of performance am I looking at if I upgrade from 750 ti to rx 480 and keep my modestly oc'd 2500k?
It would be so much cheaper than upgrading the whole system. But I'm worried it's not enough for decent 1080p for the next 2 years...
I have a 1075t, would getting an RX 480 be worth it?
